Biggest Disapointments
- Not getting into the Ivy league. I wouldn't have thought to apply, but one
sent me an application, possibly based on standardized test scores.
- Not living happily ever after with my first college romance. I told
myself I was going to woo and win the first person I fell for in college.
There was a romance, but it didn't keep.
- Not becoming a writer. Or a teacher. Or a lego engineer.
- Not being rich.
- My dad dying while I was still a boring graceless adolescent.
- Having a marriage that seemed great but ended in divorce.

- Well, I sure hope I get to New York tonight. (sigh) -
Fuck a duck, fuck a duck, fuck a duck duck duck
- Hang on while I stamp out a nipple (while brandishing a hammer)
- I gotta read that sex book
- You fish and chips snarfelling waffler. (said to Paul, born in England).
- Ah, shoot off a nipple. Ooh. That would hurt. (said while pointing a
gun at Paul's chest.)
- If libertarian ideals are so great, how come we use the English
measurement system?
- Kirk: But Paul, I want to be a hero--
Paul: Yeah, but you don't want to be marketing's hero
- I want to have an artgasm.
- I wish I knew how to sing Lawrence Welk music.
- These bubbles make me happy as a little girl.
- I'd come crawling back to her in a minute if I thought I had a third of
a chance.
- Wanna smell a nut?
- Don't threaten me. Don't threaten my manhood.
- (answering phone) Magic NetGravity Fairy
- That nail is an extension of me. You touched me!
- Lawrence Welk really had the right idea.
- I'm a software developer- I don't need shoes.
- Now my wrists are gonna get all sore.
- The reason that dogs chase cars is that they think they are giant
buffalo and they want to herd them- or something.
